Most single guys know that Pattaya’s Walking Street is a haven of go-go bars but many don鈥檛 know about the celebrated restaurants.
There are a bunch of great places to chow down that will suit every budget. You can choose from local street vendors or you can splurge on a first-rate seafood dinner.
The street vendors are mostly located just off of Walking Street down the small lanes or sois. They sell everything from barbecue on a stick to rice and noodle dishes. Prices are very moderate and you can get a meal or a snack for les than 2 dollars.
If you want Thai food in a nicer setting Cheap NFL Football Jerseys , there are many restaurants up and down the street. You can get western or Thai food at moderate prices.
Some of the bars also offer food or provide menus that you can easily order from. You can order any item on the menu and have your full course meal while enjoying your favorite adult beverage.
If you are in the mood for seafood, there are 3 or 4 restaurants that have your favorite fish Cheap Football Jerseys , lobster or crab on ice or still swimming around. Your meal will be excellent and cost about 25% of what you would pay at home. And the view of Pattaya Bay is magnificent. King Seafood is my favorite.
If seafood isn鈥檛 your favorite, you can always get Italian. Don Joe’s is right on Walking Street and overlooks the bay. You can get pizza Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys , pasta or lasagna in a great location with superb service. Many of the bars located near Don Joe’s can provide a menu and will let you consume food in the bar while you have a cold beer.
Another favorite of mine are the kebab sandwiches that some of the vendors sell. You will see chicken, pork or lamb on a vertical spit and you can get a sandwich with all the trimmings for about 50 Baht 鈥?or $1.50 US. The meat will be trimmed and put into pita bread and then you can add cucumbers Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys , tomatoes, and onions. Catsup and other sauces are also available. Chicken kebabs are my favorite and the girls in the bars will be happy to grab one for you.
Probably the best part of Walking Street is that you can get food any time of day or night. Whether eating local style at one of the many street vendors Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys , or going for the crab or lobster at King Seafood it is entirely up to you. You can even get a burger and fries if you want. And dessert is available too 鈥?you can get an Italian ice or some fresh fruit.
Walking Street is a fun place to go to for the bars and the girls but it is also a super place to get some excellent food.

The Cape to Namibia route offers travellers a huge variety of landscapes and experiences and is a highly enjoyable way to traverse this region.

Accommodation ranges from good quality Guesthouses to up market Boutique Hotels - the selection is endless.
Making your way slowly north towards Namibia you stop in Springbok Cheap NFL Jerseys , the heart of the Namaqualand. When in season (July - September) this area turns into the most spectacular flower wonderland. Various small National Parks offer visitors unique views of this arid landscape. A small detour will bring you east to the Orange River and the Augrabies Falls. The two major border posts into Namibia are at Vioolsdrift Noordoewer when coming from the town of Springbok and Nakop Ariamsvlei when having gone the detour via Upington.
The border crossing is fairly quick and after just another 2 hours drive you arrive at the second largest canyon in the world - namely the Fish River Canyon. By staying at one of the lodges in the immediate vicinity or spending the night in the nearby town of Keetmanshoop a visit to the Fish River Canyon and Hobas viewpoint makes for a nice day excursion.
Driving west one can visit the small harbor town of Luderitz with its old German colonial architecture. The long drive can be broken up by an overnight or short lunch break in the settlement of Aus which is also home to the wild Horses of the Namib Desert. At Garub there is a permanent waterhole for these desert dwellers and you are likely to see the feral horses.
The Ghost town of Kolmanskop is only 20 km east of Luderitz and well worth a visit back in time. The town was built in the 1920's during the diamond rush and was abandoned when bigger and better diamonds were found further along the coast. The area is still abandoned and the desert has encroached over the entire town, giving an eerie feeling and real meaning to the word "ghost."
